About the Book

Why would anyone strangle a humble seamstress with no known enemies? When newly-married bookseller Victor Legris is asked to solve the murder of Louise Fontaine in the abattoir district of La Villette, he is initially baffled by the case. But as the investigation progresses, Victor, along with his assistant and brother-in-law Joseph, discovers that in belle-epoque Paris young girls with no money or background are as ruthlessly preyed on as ever they were -

About the Author :
Claude Izner is the pen-name of two sisters, Liliane Korb and Laurence Lefevre. Both booksellers on the banks of the River Seine, they are experts on nineteenth-century Paris.

Review :
'...brooding and atmospheric, the sixth and best yet from Izner. Tense, dramatic, and clever, this puzzle should deservedly broaden the series' readership' Publishers Weekly (starred review) 'Izner again infuses a story with the knowledge of belle-epoque Paris, a cast of colorful and eccenctric characters and an intriguing plot. Readers will long for the next armchair excursion into Paris and its past' Richmond Times Dispatch 'A delightfully frothy wide-angle portrait of colorful belle-epoque characters and settings' Kirkus Reviews 'Izner combines a sparkling puzzle (reminiscent of one of Agatha Christie's most famous novels) with complex characters and appealing descriptions of Paris, and Murder on the Eiffel Tower is a well-executed beginning to a series with great potential' Richmond Times-Dispatch 'An extremely satisfying traditional mystery with lots of suspects and panache. Izner writes in a witty, breezy style . . . The plot is terrific' Providence Journal-Bulletin 'The taut pacing and vivid period detail will have readers eagerly turning the pages' Publishers Weekly 'The energetic curiosity of the hero dovetails nicely with the readers' interest in a fascinating era. The colorful supporting cast lays a solid foundation for Victor's further exploits' Kirkus Reviews 'A fin de siècle delight . . . [a] first-rate escapist pleasure . . . charming, witty, and beautifully evocative' BookGeeks 'I read this charming, evocative, and suspenseful book with the mounting excitement I always get when I realize I've found a new series--I can't wait for the next Victor Legris book. What a pleasure it is to visit Paris with such an expert tour guide!' Charles Finch, author of A Beautiful Blue Death 'Reading Izner is like taking a ride into the belle époque in a time machine. A wonderfully breathtaking ride' Boris Akunin, author of The Winter Queen
